About us

We’ve been part of engineering organizations that work extremely well together, deliver high-quality work, and ship often … and organizations that don’t. The best organizations have had a few things in common: visibility into their own ways of working, a culture of small but continuous improvement, and great tooling to help them improve in a way that sticks.

Swarmia was founded to help every team achieve that visibility, culture of continuous improvement, and tooling to make it happen.

We believe in the power of transparency, to help you make the right decisions at the right time. We believe in the compounding effect of positive feedback loops over a longer timeframe. And we believe in the engineering team as the fundamental unit to optimize, improve and nurture.

More than anything, as a software engineering team ourselves, we’re building the tool we believe will enable every team to do their best work.

TeamWe‘re hiring!

Our team has successfully delivered software, and led engineering & design teams in high-growth, fast-moving environments.
